RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky UK over Louisville keeps UK #1. Unless an ACC team(UVA, Duke, Louisville) can destroy the rest of its conference, UK will stay #1.
2 Duke University Logo Duke Duke hasn't played this week, so I'm not inclined to move their place
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Hasn't done anything to move them down or up, look at Arizona and Louisville.
4 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin A great team that has been playing consistently well. Best in the Big 10.
5 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Kentucky vs. Louisville: Louisville's underwhelming offense didn't score on the few open shots UK allowed, and played a dirty game.
6 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga A win over a quality BYU team bumps them up over Villanova.
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova Did a good job this week but Gonzaga did an even better job.
8 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State If you thought the ACC was tough this year, you better look at B12 too. Currently in contention along with several other teams for the title
9 University of Utah Logo Utah Pac 12 is looking better and better, and it seems like the title could go to Utah.
10 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Man oh man, Maryland is just great, and that loss to Virginia is looking less and less bad as Virginia is making its power known.
11 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Arizona. UNLV is doing well, but 'zona has already had some trouble winning against lesser teams.
12 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina UNC just keeps getting better, and Justin Jackson is looking clutch
13 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State
14 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame That offensive power though....scary scary.
15 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Texas is still playing a good defense, just like Arizona. But like Arizona, their pretty good opponent had an especially great night.
16 St. John's University Logo St. John's
17 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State Wichita State has been having close calls and finally lost to a pretty good GW team. Still though, the team will rebound from this.
18 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia
20 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Kansas needs to focus and get its game together after a drubbing by Temple. If it can do that, it will again be a contender.
21 University of Washington Logo Washington ^Replace Kansas with Washington and Temple with Stony Brook.
22 Baylor University Logo Baylor
23 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa
24 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State Survived an OT with New Mexico State but didn't convince me to go higher or lower. Georgetown and co. are nipping on its heels.
25 Georgetown University Logo Georgetown A win over a quality team in Indiana in an exciting game. Georgetown has been close to Top 25 for a while, and this did it. Next: TCU, VCU
